The Ten Tribes, 2 Esdras

The book of 2 Esdras [The Greek name for Ezra], although not
part of the Bible lexicon, has some interesting information in it. Particularly
in 2 Esdras 13:39-46 where it says that the 10 Northern tribes of Israel, decided
amongst themselves to leave Assyria and travel to a distant uninhabited land.

In Ezra’s vision, he saw a great company of people:

2 Esdras 13:47-50
The peaceful company is the 10 tribes. [The House of Israel] They have
assembled along with your people, [The House of Judah;the Jews], all those who
are survivors still in the Land. Isaiah 6:13-15

When He [Jesus]
destroys the army of the nations, then He will protect His people and show them
many signs.

2 Esdras
13:11-13 A stream of fire, the breath of
flame, poured from His mouth and fell on the enormous army advancing to attack.
They were totally burned up.

After that, the Man [Jesus] came down from
the mountain, Zechariah 14:3, and summoned to Himself a peaceful company of
people, some with joy on their faces, some with sorrow.

2 Esdras 15:3-9
Do not be afraid of plots against you, or troubled by the unbelief of your
opponents, for all unbelievers will die.

Beware, says
the Lord, for I am letting loose over all the earth terrible evils, sword,
famine, death and destruction because evil men have spread their wickedness the
whole world over.

Therefore, I
shall no longer keep silent, I will hear the pleas from all the innocent blood
that has been shed.

2 Esdras 15:14-19
Woe to the world and all its inhabitants! Stable government will be at an end. Men driven by famine will
attack their neighbours, no pity will restrain
them.

2 Esdras
16:40 My people, listen to My words; get
ready for battle and when the calamities
surround you, behave as though you were strangers on earth.

2 Esdras 16:45
For all who labour, labour in vain.

2 Esdras 16:51-52
Therefore, do not imitate wickedness or her deeds. In a very short time she will be swept away from the
earth and the reign of justice will begin.
